Scripting .NET project migration to Automatic NuGet Package Restore
NuGet Package Restore allows you to reference NuGet packages in your project without shipping them with your source code or committing them to source control. The general idea is that the packages are restored - that is, downloaded and installed - into your project when it is build. This offers a number of benefits, including better interaction with source control and smaller code distributions.

I previously wrote up a NuGet Powershell script which pages through the NuGet OData feed and downloads local copies of the packages. It's a little more complex than you'd guess, since the script needs to follow redirections and page links, plus I added in some options to skip downloads for features you've got, only grab the most popular X packages, etc.
